Yes, 9-15V. Very convenient.







I have, at least for now, decided I don’t need another piece of pro audio gear. The RME ADI-2 is a Swiss Army knife of all-in-one DAC / HPA devices that use S/D converters. Wow. Really versatile and well designed.

But when you strip it down to it’s essentials I don’t really need the parametric eq (JRiver does that in spades) and since getting my Yggy I just don’t use any of my D/S converters anymore. So I have a concern that as good as the AKM converters are, they may not be to my liking.

I’ll be looking at a Multibit DAC and probably a separate HPA.

I may get an RME ADI-2 one for my mobile setup anyway, though. Space is at a real premium. Never say never.

So I’m back to Schiit multi-bit because I like the YggY.

And priority 1 is to get a really good HPA since mine died and I am using the MCD 1100 HPA which I thought was pretty good initially but on extended listening is flat and lifeless.
